This is all very interesting. I had no idea various lights could be damaging.

yeah...as I suspected..but will it harm the figure if it's in it's package? I mean it's nowhere near the light...very far from them as they're planted on the ceiling..the lights I mean lol

Incandescent light bulbs do more damage than fluorescent ones, as they produce much more heat.
I once placed a GIJoe figure next to one and part of his legs literally melted.

Yeah I think the original packages for g1 transformers protected it but I'm not sure but how many folks kept the boxes? lol

I've never heard about anything but sunlight and heat being enemies of them. I think newer toys are better protected but older ones like 80s stuff will fade and yellow, actually some of them yellow even if you keep them hidden away.
